Hey Bill,
This is what I propose. I can set you up with a website up with an image gallery (I started doing this for Doug) where all the stolen property will be available. I can set this up tomorrow if you wish, as long as you tell me what cues have been stolen and I will figure some of them out from your website. I will do this for you my friend, even if I have to work my butt off this weekend on this. We can put a link from your website to the image gallery of stolen cues.
I will call you tomorrow on this. PM me or call me on this 209-482-7768

This was done by some one who was targeting the cues not everyday thieves. We need to make it so hot to move these cues that the "find" their way back to Bill.

Well spoken my Friend.
I think the thieves are here in AZ,because the timing was so precisee to the Collector Show,also at old Bill Mc Daniels Shop.
What you think Guys???
Ralf:wink:
 
This was obviously done by people who knew Bill was a dealer of fine cues. As much as we do business online...how many people really know where the others live? I would suspect it's closer than you would think. So, with that said...it's going to be very difficult for the thieves to move any of these cues and get anywhere near the true value. So unless these idiots are willing to sell a cue worth several thousand dollars for a couple of hundred bucks, they won't be easy to sell. That is actually a good thing...because all of us who know about this robbery will be on the look out for these cues. I honestly believe they will be caught, it's just a matter of time. So, Bill...my prayers are with you and your family, and the sooner you can get pictures and descriptions of the cues out to all of us...the sooner we can help you get your cues back.

God Bless You My Brother...
 
Hi Bill,

SORRY to hear what happened to you! I agree with John Barton, this was a planned action. I really hope that you will get your inventory back. The message already has been posted in the German "Billard Forum" You can be sure that we will keep our eyes open too.

Best regards,

Pardon my French, but this is BULLSHIT. This person or people need to be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I don't care how bad things are with the economy and job situation.

Stealing is stealing, period. and this is a serious one.

Good luck Bill.

you guys here are the very best ! the response helps ease thing alittle. but Iam crushed!I will try to get things together. so we can start wathcing for them. . my heart is torn with trust issues. but if the guy has kids and he spend the rest of there grown years away from them because of a stupid move. then there is more hurt than stolen cues! when we make bad decisions it has a ripple effect. God will make something good come out of this! its like in 1988 I got 2 drunk drivings, and because of my stupid actions many people were affected. but because of that i have not drank for 20 years. and that was something good, from a bad action. I just wish i could see what the future holds.
 
This is the kind of robbery that should be solved soon. It involves one-of-a-kind items that will resurface in a niche market where most people know each other. My guess is that one or two will be offered to local pawn shops within 100 miles soon.

I hope you will be able to get all of them back in the same condition. Good luck & best wishes.
 
Pawn Shops

Posting these links to various Ebay searches is a good start to get things going, but with 100 nice cues floating around out there, one of us is going to see one.
Another member just got their cue back from a Pawn Shop.
These could turn up in pawn shops anywhere, if the thieves get that far.

It would be great to see all the cues are recovered, and I have a feeling that either the thieves will be caught, or the cues will come trickling back to you.
It took 2-months for the other members cue to turn up at a pawn shop.

As long as everyone here is aware of what they look like or at least the builders, chances are we will come across them.
Maybe you can give us some instructions on who to contact so we can react quickly, just in case they turn up.

I really wish the best for you and your family.
The word will spread quickly, and along with so many others, I will be trying to help you get your cues back.
 
Please post any police contact information soon. If I run across any of your cues I would really like someone that I can call ASAP.
 
How many cues did they take in total? There isn't a person in the cue world that would touch those cues. Even if the clowns offered them significantly below market value...if the person looking to buy them knows anything about them at all...they'll know something's up. There's just no way to move stuff like this unless you're selling it to youngsters. Did they dust your place for prints at all?
 
Bill...what a nightmare. I am so sorry to hear about your predicament. I will keep my eyes peeled on the Europe scene just in case the wise ass thinks he can move them with less hassle abroad.

I second that... The only 6 "gates" in Greece are already alerted... Please provide us with photos... But i think this scum will try to export them to asia...
 
Duplicate...........

I realize that I posted this in the other thread as well, just hoping you see it.

Hello Bill.
Didn't you just start a thread about a bad deal with a certain customer? If my memory serves me correctly, you did. I guess my point is, that I'm wondering if there isn't some correlation between the timing of these particular events. I hope there isn't, but it might be a good place to start. JMHO. Good luck, and my thoughts are with you.
Regards
 
Oh man, first Tony, now you. This is just horrible news. I feel sick for you. If there's anything I can do to help, call me. You'll be in my prayers my friend.

Hopefully the state boys will come up with something on those fingerprints.
 
Bill you probably don?t know me ( we haven?t done business in the past ) but I want you to know that I am very sorry to hear about what happened to you. You have my sympathy sir. And as ?Kgeorgia? said if anything crosses the Greek border we?ll let you know. So if you post a list with pics we?ll know what to look for.
I hope things will get better,
Kind regards
Fotis
